The key to dressing this shape is to accentuate your best assets. You want to elongate the neck and chest line, tie in at the waist, and accentuate your sexy trim calves.

1) V-Neck: This type of neckline elongates the neck line and creates a slimming line. Pair this type of neckline with statement earrings and you’ll be a smash!

2) accentuate the Natural Waist: Look for dresses and shirts that come in at your natural waist and flare out in an a-line from that point. look for wide waistbands or accessorize with a wide belt to create that lovely hourglass shape. Also take a stab at Peplum, it’s easy and immediately creates a beautiful waistline.

3) Statement Necklaces: This fabulous trend is flattering for all body types for one simple reason. They draw the eye to your beautiful face 🙂 look for bright colors and patterns especially in a v shape for the perfect Style hit!

4)Boyfriend cut Blazers and Sweaters: I love this style not only does it elongate your torso but it camouflages spectacularly! ( As an Apple myself I appreciate it! )

5) accessorize with statements: Like the lovely Tory Burch bag above, try to find bags and scarves with some fun flair, they draw the eye and add a bit of posh to the day to day.
